After looking at some images of the race car, I set about
imagining the look of the project. These doctored images are based on a shots
taken by David Lord and James Goodwin. They demonstrate that the initial scope
was solely interested in making the external look of the car as near as possible
to that of the race car. The image on the right is the only image of the original
chassis and clone car together.

The first job was to offer up some the race car body parts
to see which of the existing panels could be used and which would require
some customisation. This highlighted from the outset that were some subtle
differences between the body panels of the race car and that of the road based
Esprit V8.

This image shows the carbon doors, arches and 18 wheels
offered up to the Sport350 bodywork. Based on this initial panel comparison,
work commenced on transforming my Sport350 into the GT1 replica.

The following images show
the completed project.

The project is described in more detail under
the links at the top of this page. Below is the Specifications/Modifications.
This lists everything that has been done to the Sport 350 to turn it into
a GT1 replica.
